13-6 Consumer information and Reporting safety defects

! Vehicle placard

The vehicle placard is affixed to the

driver’s side B-pillar.

Example:

The vehicle placard shows original

tire size, recommended cold tire infla-

tion pressure on each tire at max-

imum loaded vehicle weight, seating

capacity and loading information.

! Adverse safety consequences

of under-inflation

Driving at high speeds with exces-

sively low tire pressures can cause

the tires to flex severely and to rapidly

become hot. A sharp increa se in

temperature could cause tread se-

paration, and failure of the tire(s).

Possible resulting loss of vehicle

control could lead to an accident.

! Measuring and adjusting air

pressure to achieve proper in-

flation

Check and, if necessary, adjust the

pressure of each tire (including the

spare) at least once a month and

before any long journey. Check the

tire pressures when the tires are cold.

Use a pressure gauge to adjust the

tire pressures to the specific values.

Driving even a short distance warms

up the tires and increases the tire

pressures. Also, the tire pressures are

affected by the outside temperature. It

is best to c heck tire pressure outdoors

before driving the vehicle. When a tire

becomes warm, the air inside it

expands, causing the tire pressure to

increase. Be careful not to mistakenly

release air from a warm tire to reduce

its pressure.

& Glossary of tire terminology

. Cold tire pressure

The pressure in a tire that has been

driven less than 1 mile or has been

standing for three hours or more.

. Maximum inflation pressure

The maximum cold inflation pressure

to which a tire may be inflated.

. Recommended inflation pres-

sure

The cold inflation pressure rec om-

mended by a vehicle manufacturer.

. Intended outboard sidewall

(1) The sidewall that co ntains a

whitewall, bears white lettering or

bears manufacturer, brand, and/or

model name molding that is higher

or deeper than the same molding
